HTMLFontElement: color property

Deprecated: This feature is no longer recommended. Though some browsers might still support it, it may have already been removed from the relevant web standards, may be in the process of being dropped, or may only be kept for compatibility purposes. Avoid using it, and update existing code if possible; see the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to guide your decision. Be aware that this feature may cease to work at any time.

The obsolete HTMLFontElement.color property is a string that reflects the color HTML attribute, containing either a named color or a color specified in the hexadecimal #RRGGBB format.

The format of the string must follow one of the following HTML microsyntaxes (see <color>):

Microsyntax Description Examples
Valid name color string nameOfColor (case insensitive) Green, green, GREEN
Valid hex color string #RRGGBB #008000
RGB using decimal values rgb(x,x,x) (x in 0-255 range) rgb(0 128 0)

Value

A string.

When set to the null value, that null value is converted to the empty string (""), so elt.color = null is equivalent to elt.color = "".

Examples

js
// Assumes there is <font id="f"> element in the HTML

const f = document.getElementById("f");
f.color = "green";

Specifications

The <font> element has been deprecated and is no longer supported and, as a result, neither is <font>.color.
